Maturity

I was just discussing with my Mom (breifly) this morning how Leanna seems to have been going through a real maturity growth spurt lately. She has a tendancy to rush and do sloppy work at school and in the past month or two I've noticed her papers are coming home much neater. Her handwritting is easier to read and it's not as all over the page as it used to be. Even her coloring is neater. She's getting good at sounding out words. She's been voluntarily helping out more at home. Even her understanding of how things work seems to be improving. I'm very proud of her growth.
